DAILY HERALD.
THE QUEENS JUBILEE.
A Grand Celebration 20 occur ON
May 2Oths


May Goth.
The subjects of Queen Victoria met
last night in Justice Taney's courtroom,
Mr.. G. White Mortimer nthe chair and K.
L. Ogilvie secretary. The chairman read
a circular from San Francisco relative to
the celebration of the Queens Jubilee on
the goth of May, together with letter
from Geo. Theobald, asking cooperation
throughout the State of British residents.
He suggested that some action be taken
toward assisting in the endowment of a
hospital for British residents, and to aid
in properly celebrating the Jubilee year.
Captain Elliott thought that com.
mittee should be formed for the purpose
of raising sufficient funds to celebrate
the day, and that if anything was left
after such celebration it be sent to the
Hospital Fund to aid the fund. The
Chair suggested that it be decided
whether the people here co. operate with
San Francisco or whether the whole
effort be put forth for the benefit of Los
Angeles. MIR. Sumner moved that the
whole effort be put forth for Los An.
geles and that San Francisco be left to
care for itself. He said that there might
be a smallpox scare here and the San
Francisco people would not help Los
Angeles in the East.
This proposition met with unani.
nous approval and was carried without
a dissenting voice. Captain Elliott
thought the best thing to do was to es.
tablish here nice little hospital, and
the first thing to do was to appoint
committee to see how much money
could be raised. He moved that such
action be taken.
MIR. Sumner moved that q monster
celebration be held, and that sub.com.
mittees be appointed to canvas the dii-
ferent districts. He said that first of all
il was better to have one great hurrah,
and to have them all march through the
street with bands and bag.pipes. First
of all the celebration and then the money
could be used to endow institutions af
terward. The motion to appoint the
committee to raise funds was carried.
Mr.. Sumner also moved that the sur
plus of the money raised be invested in
endowing bed at hospital, and that
if after there is any left it be turned
over to the British Benevolent Society. |
This was amended by leaving the invest
ment of the surplus funds to future
meeting and that the committee have |
power to act. The resolution was car
ried and it was suggested that tho chair |
name the committee. He objected as
he could not without study select the
right men. He would name some now
and others afterwards. The following
were appointed: c. c. Sumner, Russell
Harris, j. F. Fullerton, Major Draper,
